Normal Notes-Press B~anqueting. Etc.
A valued correspondent sends us a well
written communication on educational
subjects. We regret that u space is too
limited for the entire letter, but We find
room for the closing pages relating to the
normal and the press banquet:
We would like to speak of all the good
lectures we heard at the normal, but space
f0rbids. They were all instructive and
beneficial to the teachers, but the most
commendable, most beautiful idea that
was presented, was by our efficient, most
worthy, courteous and pleasant teacher,
Professor Mason, In his methods of teach
ing by inspiration In taking the pupil as
we find him, and teaching him the true
beauty Of honor and integrity, and In.
spring him with pure and good princi-
pies, and an aspiring manliness and wo-
manllness that will be influenced by none
but the most noble, most generous no.
tives.
The excursion to Cranberry on the next
day after the close of the normal was O
delightful day, that .xiyi long linger In
the memories of cveryveacher we think.
Every face was wreathed In smiles and
every heart seemed light and joyous. 1t
was like a sunny day In childhood, spent
amid the flowers. We were Joined at
Roam Mountain depot by the Press Asso-
citation, who with their intelligent
wives and daughters added greatly to the
pleasure of the occasion. It was really
amusing to witness the large number In
company ascending mount Pisga," to
visit the mines, especially some who were
not very diminutive In form. The ascent
was almost perpendicular and the path
very narrow and uncertain, threatening
precipitation to the base at almost every
step.
To the Hon. W. p. Brownlow We were
indebted for this luxury. He, sympa-
thizing with the teachers unremittfng
toll and poor compensation, wrote Col.
Nimson, " that above all other persons
upon earth who labored harder for less
remuneration, and received but little
thanks and rest in this world, and had but
little hope Of reward In tile hereafter, 1t
was teachers, and he asked that he would
give them a day Of recreation" If we
had a few more such magnanimous men
as the liberal, broad. souled, patriotic Hon.
W. p. Brownlow, the Blair bill would be
passed, teachers would receive perma-
nent employment, their labors would be
appreciated, and they could enjoy more
holidays and find more oases In their
dcasert lives.
We would be glad to speak of the de-
nghtful banquet at the elegant Piedmont
House, given to the Editorial Literati"
Of our State, but we feel that we have
said too much already. Suffice 1t to say,
that It was not only O luxurious repast
served In a brilliantly lighted, beautifully
decorated room, but 1t was a grand "In.
tellectual FEAST" from some Of the most
talented orators Of our State. 1t was all
q beautiful e%ffuslon Of ~eloquonce, ready
wit and pleasant humor, brilliant gems,
that were showered in profuslon, that
will long linger in the memory like sweet
strains Of music.

IN MEMoRrAM.

As 1t Is the most beautiful and cher
ished flowers that seem to wlther away
and die the soonest. so the "Pale Mes
senger'' apparently calls away those who
arc nearest and dearest to US the earliest.
Indifferent TO the pangs Of q mothers
heart, needing not the tears Of a father,
truly death Is mo respecter of persons"
But we have the assurance which should
suffice to comfort all our hearts, that 'all
things work together for good to them
that love God."
Georgiana d. McIntire was born April
80. 1876. died July 8, 1887, aged 12 years
2 months and 8 days.
She was taken sick June 81, last, with
fiux and Notwithstanding the rack Of
pain and scorch of fever" she bore her
affection with great patience and heroism
and a few months before her spirit
winged It's way to the Paradise above she
kissed her mama and papa good bye and
told them she was dying. Oh, dear
parents, cease to mourn for one who is
safely housed in that Celestial city
"where eye hath not seen nor fear heard
neither hath it entered into the heart Of
man to conceive the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him."
Verify heavens, attraction will be aug
mented to you dear family when you
realize that you have one there who is
waiting and watching to welcome you in
at the beautiful gate.
Afflicted parents weep no more,
Thy darling Is with the blest;
h is not last but gone before,
Her earth freed spirit IL at rest.
So we Will check the rising tear,
And still the sorrow Of our heart.
For we meet In that bright sphere.
There we are never doomed to part.

dandelion used as greens, is excel

gus purifies the blood; celery acts
admirably upon the nervous system
and is sure cure for rheumatism

BILE; white onions, garlic, leeks,
chiyes and shallots all of which are
similar, possess medical virtues of .
marked character, stimulating the
circulatory system and the conse-

gastric juices promoting digestion.
Red onions are an excellent diuretic
and the white ones are recommended
eaten raw as remedy for insomnia.
They are tonic and nutritious. A
soup made from onions is regarded
by the French as an excellent restor-
